It's been a good start to the New Year.
Sunny Southern California is like heaven on earth...compared to the Ice Aged winter wonderland that my home state of Michigan has become. I have a steady part-time job earning a good personal income; while it may not be a basket of fuzzy kittens and lavender rainbows, I’m still thankful to be earning money.
I’m still chasing down the dream of breaking into the film industry. I've been writing a consortium of short scripts; two of which I am resolved on shooting and editing during the summertime. One’s a serious drama, the other’s a quirky comedy. I've made a few connections here and there during my time in Cali – while many of the emails and copies of my résumé have had few responses back, I will not let this probability douse my efforts!
One script I wrote has generated interest from two different filmmakers; I passed along my blessing and continually keep in contact to check up on how production’s going for both adaptations.
My graphic design is looking good. I just finished up the advertising campaign for a good friend’s start-up business back home, and I've been developing illustrations for a joint collaboration on the first in what will hopefully be an outstanding children’s book series.
So as far as my life is concerned, I’m not complaining, and I have a lot to be thankful for right now. Each day as I move along and continue to grow my passions, I grow as a well-rounded person. This can be said for my writing: getting back into the blogging mood really helps the creative juices flow again.
So after a long hiatus, it’s good to be back.
